	Hi Brenda, I think you should contact the Guernsey Archives Office and ask if they could provide you with photcopies of the original baptism entries, then you can make an informed decision about which of these is the correct one. That would save you chasing a name totally unconnected to you. Seems likely that the handwriting could have been difficult to read, so it's possible that none of these are correct! Best wishes, Carole
